I am trying to create a custom post archive that is sorted by date. The date will be pulled from a custom post field. I believe this part is easy.

However, I would also like to include custom posts that do not have a date input into the custom post field.

I want these listed at the end after the custom posts that are returned with a date.

How would I do that?

Dear Chris,

I suggest you create a view to list posts, and use Views filter hook "wpv_filter_query" to add the custom filter exclude posts which are within a specific date range.
And put above view into the wordpress archive page, at the end after of main content.

See our document:
wpv_filter_query
DescriptionWhen displaying a View listing posts, this filter is applied to the arguments being generated by the View settings before they are passed to the WP_Query class.
